studio note

Years ago, after I described the way I paint to one of my art teachers (Jeff Fulmer) he asked me, "Is that art, or art therapy?"

studio note

Usually, the painting becomes what it will, like it has a life of its own. The painter only struggles to let it be.

I tried to obliterate the skull - to force the painting in a different direction - but it wasn't ready to go. I've given in and decided to let it be.
